Blackstone’s Jon Gray puts AI at the center of the firm’s investment strategy

Bloomberg describes AI as the biggest bet of Blackstone President Jon Gray’s career. Blackstone says its strategy spans data centers, power, computing and adoption, while Crypto Briefing reports a $5 billion Google-linked infrastructure venture targeting 500 megawatts by 2027 and forecasts for six gigawatts of 2026 leases. The projections remain targets, not completed capacity or spending.
